The Japanese tell them, the Chinese, the Red Indians by their camp fires, the Eskimo in their dark dirty winter huts. The Kaffirs of South Africa tell them, and the modern Greeks, just as the old Egyptians did, when Moses had not been many years rescued out of the bulrushes. The Germans, French, Spanish, Italians, Danes, Highlanders tell them also, and the stories are apt to be like each other everywhere. A child who has read the Blue and Red and Yellow Fairy Books will find some old friends with new faces in the Pink Fairy Book, if he examines and compares. But the Japanese tales will probably be new to the young student; the Tanuki is a creature whose acquaintance he may not have made before. He may remark that Andersen wants to 'point a moral, ' as well as to 'adorn a tale; ' that he is trying to make fun of the follies of mankind, as they exist in civilised countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cat's Elopement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the Dragon Was Tricked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Goblin and the Grocer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe House in the Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUraschimataro and the Turtle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Slaying of the Tanuki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Flying Trunk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Snow-man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shirt-collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Princess in the Chest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Three Brothers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Snow-queen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fir-tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHans, the Mermaid's Son\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter Bull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bird 'Grip'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnowflake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Know What I Have Learned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cunning Shoemaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe King Who Would Have a Beautiful Wife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatherine and Her Destiny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the Hermit Helped to Win the King's Daughter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Water of Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wounded Lion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Man Without a Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Two Brothers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster and Pupil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Golden Lion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sprig of Rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe White Dove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Troll's Daughter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEsben and the Witch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrincess Minon-minette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaiden Bright-eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Merry Wives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Lindorm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jackal, the Dove, and the Panther\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Little Hare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sparrow with the Slit Tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Story of Ciccu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon Giovanni De La Fortuna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45498645119127,"sku":"9781533689955","price":1040.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781533689955.webp?v=1767155920","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-pink-fairy-book-9781533689955","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
